Weighs 258 Lb

I continue to put on weight but no longer at the .6 lb/day clip. Still trying to hold off on a strict diet until after the colonoscopy on July 7.

I chatted with the nice lady from my doctor's office. Her name is Karen and I am not sure what she is exactly but she used to be an EMT. Someone suggested that I inquire about my thyroid. I had blood work performed about a month ago and thyroid was normal.

After a series of questions she suggested that I stop eating late at night. I have been round and round on this particular issue but I am willing to give it a try when I finally resort to another diet.

I put on 20 Lb. in 32 days. That is about .60 lb/day. I have not been gluttonous but I have not been on a diet either. I usually do put on weight rapidly if I am not on extreme diet.

To reiterate, I am not dieting until after I my July 7 colonoscopy. By that time I should weigh 270 lb.

I want to stay at this weight until after the colonoscopy in July. It is hard for me to even stay even. Wish me well.

Weighs 242 Lb.

No diet in particular. Trying to avoid gluttony and extreme calories. I will formulate a new strategy in July following my colonoscopy.

Weighs 240 lb.

Still recovering from recent illness. I would take ten gangrenous gall bladders to one obstructed bowel.

Weighs 235 lb.

Still not feeling one hundred per cent but I am making a steady recovery and I am keeping the wight down.

I had a bowel obstruction that lasted six days. It was the most physically agonizing experience of my life. It was brought on by too little food (HCG diet) coupled with too little water AND too many whole sunflower seeds. I thought I could continue munching whole sunflower seeds as I did when I was on a normal diet. Sunflower seeds became a much larger portion of my diet and I caused my bowel to get obstructed.

Day three post recovery and I still have symptoms and my appetite has not fully returned. Which is OK because the silver lining to this story is that I got my weight under 240 once more.
